Taylor Swift Releases June 5 Song With Patrick Mahomes Taylor Swift Support
Taylor Swift’s patrick mahomes taylor swift support moment landed with a June 5 release date: she will put out an original Toy Story 5 song titled “I Knew It, I Knew You.” She said she wrote it after seeing the film in its early stages, then got home and finished it with Jack Antonoff.
Swift posted the news on Instagram and tied the song to a return to her country roots. The track is built around Jessie’s story from Toy Story 2, giving the soundtrack a direct line to a character already familiar to fans of the franchise.
Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff
Swift’s post included the line, “I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening” and “Sometimes you just know, right?” That makes the timing of the release part of the story: the song was not a later studio add-on, but something she says came immediately after she saw the film.
Antonoff’s role keeps the collaboration anchored in familiar territory for Swift. The song will arrive to streaming platforms on June 5, and it is the first specific music news tied to Toy Story 5’s soundtrack rollout in the facts provided.
Jessie’s Toy Story 2 thread
Andrew Stanton said Swift’s connection to Jessie was obvious from the start. He said, “It’s incredible just how meaningful it’s been having Taylor write and perform this song,” and added, “Her connection to Jessie and the immediate way she understood what the character was going through was undeniable.”
He also said, “The song is so deeply connected to ‘Toy Story.’” On first listen, it felt like “a long-lost family member,” and he summed up the collaboration with, “It was kismet.” For a franchise that has kept Jessie’s journey running since Toy Story 2, that is the clearest sign the new song was built to fit the story rather than sit beside it.
Toy Story 5 and Bonnie
Toy Story 5 carries a Toys vs. Tech theme and introduces tablet Lilypad, voiced by Greta Lee, into the life of 8-year-old Bonnie. That setup puts Swift’s song in the middle of a film that is already adding a new character and a new source of distraction for Bonnie.
Over the weekend, TS billboards appeared in Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, Toronto, Mexico City and London, and a countdown at the end of April built attention before the 2 p.m. ET announcement. The result is a soundtrack reveal with a clear release date, a specific collaborator in Antonoff, and a direct tie to Jessie’s story in Toy Story 5.
